I took off Tuesday to stay at home and absorb it all in, and I am so glad I did. I only lost it when President Obama and his First Lady held hands and walked down Pennsylvainia. The tears came out with no control. Today when speaking with people about it, some wondered why I was so into it. Well, for one, my direct ancestors owned slaves, I know this is a fact. I do not feel guilty about it, I had nothing to do with it. However, I have never understood all the hate and discrimination. As a child I knew racists and KKK members in my own family. I listened to their crap all through the 70's and remember thinking what was wrong with these people? Luckily, I was raised differently.
Anyway, I enjoyed watching history being made and feeling it move across the centuries of history. Darla
